Standard Specification for Steel Chain-Link Fencing Materials Used for High Security Applications (Withdrawn 2015)

ABSTRACT
This specification covers chain-link fencing material applications for high security applications. Fabric shall be attached with tie wires or other appropriate fasteners. Fabric shall be attached with tie wires or other appropriate fasteners. Fabric, shall be attached to the terminal post using tension bars with tension bands or vertical straps. Barbed wire shall be installed, in accordance with the requirement, with one or more strands, depending on the degree of security required, or in conjunction with the use of barbed tape obstacles. Fabric shall be secured to tension wire using steel hog rings.
SCOPE
1.1 This specification covers chain-link fencing material applications for high security applications.
1.2 The values stated in inch-pound units are to be regarded as standard. The values given in parentheses are mathematical conversions to SI units that are provided for information only and are not considered standard.
WITHDRAWN RATIONALE
This specification covers chain-link fencing material applications for high security applications.
Formerly under the jurisdiction of Committee F14 on Fences, this guide was withdrawn in July 2015 and replaced by Guide F2611 on the Design and Construction of Chain Link Security Fencing.1
